They believe they are masters of the world, yet know nothing about what goes on outside their shores. They are people who believe the world stretches from California to Boston and everything outside is the bit they have to bomb to keep the price of oil down. Only one in five Americans hold a passport and the only foreign stories that make their news are floods, famine, and wars, because it makes them feel good to be an American. Feeling good to be American is what they live for.

Worse, every bomb we drop creates more enemies. We should have know this from the Battle of Britain. All those German bombs strengthened the resolve of English people. <br /><br />Yes, American foreign policy is bone headed and has been ever since WWII. That's when Americans learned to love bombing. It's also when they learned to love an economy based on bombing. We always think of Americans are addicted to oil but the bigger addiction may be bombing with all the peripherals that go with it.Tobynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-52100172715270288252016-02-12T09:16:09.897-08:002016-02-12T09:16:09.897-08:00You can't bomb an idea.You can't bomb an idea.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.com
